We have adjusted our quiet hour settings while still keeping you compliant with the TCPA. Quiet hours are between 8:00 p.m. - 8:00 a.m., depending on the time zone you selected in My Account.

 

Messages to SMS phone numbers outside of your time zone are prevented from receiving SMS messages during quiet hours for that time zone, based on the area code of the phone number.

The main reason we purchased the SMS feature was so that we would have the ability to connect with our people during specific times. The quiet hours prevent us form doing this and is very problematic. The feature out quiet hours should be optional at best.

I agree with amending the quiet hours. Like many others, we do use this as an internal communication function (as well as external communication). For internal reasons, specifically office closures, emergency situations, and other work related items, it'd be nice to be able to use the SMS service before 8 a.m. CST.

Regarding quiet hours, being able to amend quiet hours for certain SMS lists would be helpful. We would like to be able to text our staff before 8 am to share office closures before the day starts. 

 

Thank you for the consideration.
